Burn
[00:13.98] I saved every letter you wrote me
[00:18.27] From the moment I read them
[00:20.53] I knew you were mine
[00:22.55] You said you were mine
[00:24.31] I thought you were mine
[00:29.58] Do you know what Angelica said
[00:32.09] When we saw your first letter arrive?
[00:35.86] She said, "Be careful with that one, love.
[00:39.61] He will do what it takes to survive."
[00:42.87] You and your words flooded my senses
[00:47.14] Your sentences left me defenseless
[00:50.16] You built me palaces out of paragraphs
[00:53.92] You built cathedrals
[00:58.17] I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
[01:01.94] I'm searching and scanning for answers
[01:04.46] In every line
[01:06.47] For some kind of sign
[01:08.47] And when you were mine
[01:11.98] The world seemed to burn, burn
[01:27.79] You published the letters she wrote you
[01:31.31] You told the whole world how you brought
[01:33.56] This girl into our bed
[01:35.83] In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
[01:42.85] Do you know what Angelica said
[01:46.36] When she read what you'd done?
[01:49.38] She said, "You've married an Icarus.
[01:53.14] He has flown too close to the sun."
[01:56.15] You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
[02:00.67] Your sentences border on senseless
[02:03.69] And you are paranoid in every paragraph
[02:07.45] How they perceive you
[02:11.46] You, you, you…
[02:18.75] I'm erasing myself from the narrative
[02:23.27] Let future historians wonder
[02:26.28] How Eliza reacted when you broke her heart
[02:31.83] You have torn it all apart
[02:33.84] I'm watching it burn
[02:41.13] Watching it burn
[02:47.16] The world has no right to my heart
[02:49.92] The world has no place in our bed
[02:52.43] They don't get to know what I said
[02:55.44] I'm burning the memories
[02:57.45] Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
[03:01.71] You forfeit all rights to my heart
[03:04.22] You forfeit the place in our bed
[03:06.98] You'll sleep in your office instead
[03:09.74] With only the memories
[03:11.76] Of when you were mine
[03:24.32] I hope that you burn
